Anne Glasser replied to Christopher Perrin's discussion Can CC Educators Learn from The Education System in Finland?"Another confounding variable is that teachers are likely as respected as physicians or engineers -- applicants to teacher's colleges are not bottom-of-the-barrel like they can be here in the US.

- Tell us a bit about yourself--a brief bio
- I'm a teacher, and a student by constitution! I am an autodidactic and avid reader.
I came to classical education in the '90s. My daughter was a student at an elite prep school, whole language was in vogue in the teacher's college, and I was an executive director for an Episcopal kindergarten. I saw that the best-performing schools didn't change their methodology with educational faddery, but for the most part stuck with the tried and true, much of it (focusing on teaching students the tools of learning instead of isolated subjects, engaging them in the "great conversation") is used in classical and Christian schools.
I read Mr. Wilson's book in the mid-90s, and re-thought what I thought I knew. I joined a book club focusing on education, then it morphed into focusing on Christian education, then classical and Christian education, then the classics, and the rest is history.
I'm married to a brilliant thinker, reader and musician, a true renaissance man about whom I joke practices medicine in his spare time, and we have eight children.
